109:1O God of my praise, be not silent,

109:2For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!

109:3They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.

109:4For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!

109:5And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

109:6Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

109:7In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.

109:8His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

109:9His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.

109:10And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

109:11An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.

109:12He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.

109:13His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.

109:14The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.

109:15They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

109:16Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay,

109:17And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

109:18And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.

109:19It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.

109:20This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

109:21And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness is good, deliver me.

109:22For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.

109:23As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.

109:24My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.

109:25And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.

109:26Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.

109:27And they know that this is Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.

109:28They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.

109:29Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.

109:30I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,

109:31For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.

110:0A Psalm of David.

110:1The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

110:2The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.

110:3Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

110:4Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou art a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'

110:5The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.

110:6He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.

110:7From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!

111:0

111:1Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

111:2Great are the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

111:3Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

111:4A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful is Jehovah.

111:5Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

111:6The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

111:7The works of His hands are true and just, Stedfast are all His appointments.

111:8They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

111:9Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful is His name.

111:10The beginning of wisdom is fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise is standing for ever!
